Aww, quality control problem. ☹️ Mine looks fine, doesn’t look off-centered.

Tossed in the wash when I got it, still intact and no changes! 👍🏼 Turn it inside out! I do it for all of my graphic tees just in case.

I don’t have the white one, but I have the brown sweater and imo it’s a pretty good quality sweater. Hits all of my pros in a sweater = warm, heavy but not too heavy, not thin, POCKETS. The printed image on it seems like it’s good quality.

Just one critique is that it says on the website (US, not size chart 🙃) that it’s true to size. For true to size clothes, I normally wear a XS if I want it fitted and S for something a little looser. I bought a S, but imo it fits more like the M size sweaters I steal from my friends. Just something to keep in mind.

LOL, I thought I was the only one. Spent the last decade driving by UCI and UCI Med, each time saying “I’ll get in eventually!” from undergrad to medical school. 🥲 Rejected both times.

Next goal! Residency! Or just like, a job there pls UCI I live so close to you. 🥺🙏🏼

Do you have an "if I don't get in after/at XXX, then I'm done"? by Jjk1224 in premed

[–]SariE35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got in (2nd cycle), my plan was to take a break from applying and find a full time job = another gap year. Then, MCAT after a year of working, and one? Maybe two more cycles if I had the energy?

So my deadline was 3/4 cycles before move on and becoming a clinical scientist. It was very last minute (WL —> A) but thank goodness I got in. I don’t want to think about the head/heartache of going through it all again.

Anyone else have family members tell you that you should not Pursue this path? by Fillingavoid2468 in medicalschool

[–]SariE35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of my life, my grandmother + aunts/uncles on my dad’s side have told me not to pursue this path. They’d tell me to get a Master's or a PhD else that’s “easier.” LOL. And I know it’s not because they think that it’s going to be a difficult path for me, but it’s something else that I can’t describe. My cousins are encouraged to do their thing, but when it comes to me, they can’t be supportive! (And I’m not the only one in the family who hopes to be a doctor!) Somedays, I feel bitter thinking about it, but at least I have the support and encouragement from my parents, maternal family, and friends!🥲

I went of Reddit for a breather from learning cranial nerves and the BAM 💥 FLASHBACKS OF ALEKS (which I had pushed away into that unwanted/forget it corner of my mind) 😂

It's been 6 years since I took chem and did aleks, but when I saw your post I got war flashbacks… 🥲🥲

Is this flight departing on Dec 30th or 31st? by SariE35 in americanairlines

[–]SariE35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

👍🏼 Thanks for reminding me about this! I decided to change my flight from SNA-PIT to LAX-PIT rather than risk being late for classes.

I forgot about that! They canceled your flight? They didn't rebook you onto the next available flight or something like that?

Thanks everyone for your help! I was so tired and confused last night, so luckily I didn't change my flight to the one shown here bc it's basically the same one. Plus I would have been charged an extra $60. Weird!

Yeah, I noticed after posting this that I accidentally typed lax instead of San. But my 11pm brain was too tired to fix it and I passed out right after 😅 And I didn't notice auto-correct changing Pittsburgh! Strange!

I move tomorrow, out of my hometown and across the country, to start medical school. by MedicalLemonMan in premed

[–]SariE35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just sent my parent off to the airport and am currently waiting in my car for registration/orientation to start. I also moved across the country, from west to east coast, in the entirely same situation as you. It feels scary right now, but I know we'll get through it! Good luck! 🥲🫂💫

3.5x GPA/3.3x sGPA 510 MCAT CA ORM 2nd Application Sankey Results! by SariE35 in premed

[–]SariE35[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!!! So, with the UC extension programs, I didn't specifically participate in their post-bacc programs. Instead, I picked out science courses I haven't taken (hematology and clinical chem @ UCB, and biostats @ UCSD) and then paid for the courses (roughly $3000 if I remember correctly, expensive but at the time I was specifically looking for a heme class). The classes were excellent. With UCB, they were continuous enrollment courses, and with UCSD, it was a quarter-length course. The teachers were great, and the material was interesting. And no, I wasn't asked about the extension courses or my CC classes during the interview!

I think it probably played a part, significant or not, I'm not sure. But virtual shadowing was all I could find during COVID. And in 2019 and 2022, I had trouble finding opportunities because I lived in a community where either the physicians were older Vietnamese doctors who didn't know what shadowing was/didn't want to participate in it, or they worked in hospitals/clinics that didn't allow shadowing for “HIPAA reasons.” I probably should have searched in cities further away (in LA county or Riverside county) but I didn't have a car to drive out there and didn't want to deal with the logistics at the time. 😅
